Exploring the Edinburgh to Glasgow Canals

Since the Millennium Link project joined the Union Canal with the Forth and Clyde Canal through the spectacular Falkirk Wheel, the world's first and only rotating boat lift, the historic canal system between Edinburgh and Glasgow has become a major area for tourism and recreation. This guide provides background history and describes the canals from east to west, following the footpaths in 16 stages, including routes past Linlithgow, Muiravonside Country Park and the Antonine Wall.
